If
Kara DioGuardi has her way, she and Ellen DeGeneres will be hitting it off like franks and beans, peanut butter and jelly, frick and frack... two peas in a pod. At at an industry conference in New York, Kara was

Wonder where the chemistry between
The Office's "storybook couple" (Jim and Pam, silly... who'd you
think I was talking about, Dwight and Angela?) comes from, just
read this interview John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer do with the AP's Frazier Moore. Even in print, the interplay between them suggests that the on-camera "work marriage" extends to their off-camera workplace as well.
Not that anything else is happening, of course; Fischer is married to horror movie director James Gunn. But it's great to see two co-stars who are supposed to be romantically involved on-screen like each other so much off-screen. Believe me, any fan of
Gilmore Girls -- who employs Jenna's brother-in-law, Sean Gunn -- knows that no amount of acting can overcome tension between the actors playing a couple.
